Motorcycle Forks / Shock Absorber Rebuild & Repair service
Stourbridge Motorcycle Centre are proud to have 3 x full-time technicians (with nearly 100 years combined experience), fully trained with Industry Recognised Accreditation, to carry out full Motorcycle Fork and Motorcycle Shock servicing and rebuilds.
We offer a full ride-in ride-out service – no need to take the forks out of your bike yourself!
We also accept loose forks (should you wish to take them out of your bike yourself.)
We have a fully equipped workshop and a large supply of parts in stock meaning you are never off the road for very long. We are able to rebuild forks and shock absorbers from most manufacturers including Ohlins, WP, Showa, Marzocchi and KYB.
Fancy blinging your bike up? We also offer decorative finishes for your stanchions! Just ask.

The fork service process
What is involved in a fork service, we hear you ask! Well …
- Removal of your front wheel and mudguard
- Removal of the forks from the bike
- Disassembly of front forks including all internal parts
- Inspection of all parts for wear or damage
- Inspection of stanchions and outer tubes for straightness
- Polish chrome tubes
- Strip and thorough clean of piston assemblies
- New genuine NOK oil seals
- New genuine NOK dust seals
- Slide and Guide bushes inspected and replaced where required
- Rebuilt with high quality Putoline fork oil
Whilst they’re apart, you can also look at upgrading the fork internals and fork springs if needed – we have a range of options for most bikes.
Upgrades & cosmetic options
Not only do we offer a comprehensive rebuild service, we also have the following cosmetic options if you’re either looking to restore your forks or completely change their look:
- Powder coating
- Anodising
- Titanium Nitride Coating
- DLC Coating
- Polishing
- Rechroming
Please note we only work on pairs of forks not singles. Likewise, we do not “just change the fork seals” as this rarely solves the issue. If you want a bodge job doing then I’m afraid we are not the company for you.
We only offer a high-quality, professional service with a full warranty back-up and this is reflected in our competitive pricing.
